Slept until 10:00—up & feel refreshed & with renewed faith in my work. Day spent in studio going over my old diaries (1912—1914—1915)—and looking at some of my 1915 notes for pictures. It is my task now to re-create and re-experience the rhapsodic impressions of life & nature I had then. I can do it.
